What did you do to your boat today?

Pulled the Marine mats, cleaned them and the deck. Also added a piece of Marine mat at the bow around the nav light.
I am debating the two that I have coming off each side, thoughts?

I did on mine helps with people stepping on and off or crawling over the front.
 
Let a friend rent the boat. Anchor broke and he quickly reversed away from island and forgot he had a line out back.

That is our thought as well. We also load cooler over that area whe prepping the boat. Would save having ti put a towel down to protect it.
 
first time I slid of the bow coming into a beach to fast I ordered those for the bow and sides.
 
Took today off to keep cracking away at my projects prior to the season kicking off. Got the spark plugs and oil changed. Which who hasn't seen that done 1000% times.

Installed a bow guard. Generally not a fan of these, but less a fan of scrapes and scuffs on the bow.

Got to working on the ballast project. SOOOOOOO close! Unfortunately I need a slightly longer harness for the battery, and one of the pumps. Ordered those today from wakemakers.

Now she needs a really good cleaning, hook up those last few wiring harnesses and fingers crossed when the ballast fill they don't cause problems for the fuel filler, and the pissers on the other side.

I did just the one on the bow- same dilemma, after 1 year the two that go on the sides are still in my office closet ?

Which pop up cleats did you install?

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the cleat positions are about worthless for fenders. We just nose up to the dock and jump off to grab the truck these days, no use for fenders.

We used to do that. With 2 little kids that's harder to do. That and the lake we frequent has really tight parking and my wife isn't exactly proficient with backing up the trailer. She uses the trailer assist on the Ford to back up. Which is super easy on boat ramps, but doesn't help with spatial awareness for things like tight parking lots.
